(in reply to: Canada doesn't have the best university)UofT is only the biggest research university because it is the biggest university. In the end, it is just a question of how big is your science and engineering in comparison to your arts programs. York is an arts school, and arts professors tend to generate much less money for research, therefore york will rank lower in the research category... not to take anything away from yorks awesome arts programs(the business and law are better than UofT) but arts just doesnt generate research $$

Hey UofT.. lets put it this way, if waterloo was the size of UofT, then they would generate alot more research grants

(in reply to: Canada doesn't have the best university)York is an arts school, but UofT and McGill (and Queen´s, UBC, etc) still kill York in arts and humanities. The only exception is York´s fine arts program. Anything else, like English, philosophy, economics, history, etc. UofT and McGill are in a totally different league.

I´ll give you business. York undergrad business is better than UofT undergrad business and kills McGill, but UofT law is significantly better than Osgoode (Wasgoode). Seriously, you are talking about the Osgoode in the 1960´s. Ask people who are in law school or are applying to law school and they´ll tell you what I´m telling you: UofT law is the best in Canada. I would admit if Osgoode was better, but it´s just not true. It hasn´t been for a long time.

That last comment was retarded. No point addressing it.

Can a York student please explain to me why you think that York is so great in arts and humanities? Is it your faculty, courses, student body, library? Cause I don´t see anything great about any of York´s departments except for Schulich, Osgoode, and the fine arts program.

(in reply to: Canada doesn't have the best university)i go to york. we have great humanities professors who know their stuff. most arts students at york do not take school seriosly so it is easy to excel and get to know your teachers. more students at mcgill and uft are serios about studying arts and it is harder to stand out or be noticed by their teachers. that is why york is excelent for undergrad and uft for masters.
